Cannot find the error!

Original question: Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second".

Equality.java
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
if (firstExample.equals("hello")){
  console.printf("first is equal to second\n");
  System.exit(0);
}
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
